We have two dogs, a cat and chickens including a sunrise early crowing rooster who will get you up to start your adventures. Fishing galore on the 1000 lakes in our county. We have an old doc, canoeing and fishing right on our lake. Beautiful sunsets and the joy of being in the deep woods of Northern MN. Lots of fun things to do in Grand Rapids and Hibbing. This site is level on the driveway but not out on the grass. It is close to our house, but we are quiet and not around very much. You pretty much have the place to yourself. 30 amp is close to the house. Toilet, showers and three season porch can be arranged. A Generator will give you closer access to the lake but far from water and septic hook up. Septic is our home septic where you can empty or hook up if you choose to set up close to it.

The best camping near Pokegama Dam guide

Overview

About

The Pokegama Dam provides a vital service to the surrounding area, sure. Know what else it provides? Good times. The reservoir’s pristine water makes this an absolutely killer spot for the boaters and fishers among us. And like front row seats to a sold-out show, each of the dam’s campsites have a priceless view of the Mississippi, in all its glittering glory.

Now, being so close to the river is bound to make you impatient to saddle up and enjoy it. Only a short walk from the sites, a bit north of the dam, the boat ramp gives you the perfect place to push off. So pack your tent, load the waterskis, and gas up the boat, because this water is just waiting for your wake.
